Why live in Mobile, AL?

Mobile is a city that is rich in Southern culture and its thriving art scene stands in contrast to its identity as a bustling port city. In various quarters of the city, one feels transported back in time while in others it is clearly a modern, sophisticated metropolis and even a regional medical center for medicine. A history of struggles has imbued Mobile with a sense of self-awareness of its own identity that other cities lack and it now embraces both its African American and French-Cajun roots, resulting in a unique sense of place like no other.
